The 2019 General Election

[littlebabyjesus]

If Starmer was leader the Mail would be calling him Keir Stalin and cunts like Trump would still be demanding the party shift right.

Yep. If Labour are going to win with anything other than a 'tory-lite' programme (and what's the point of that - just let the tories do tory things), then they have to win with large parts of the press lined up against them, including the likes of the BBC and The Guardian, spreading lies and misinformation, selectively quoting and generally misrepresenting everything they can. That's the challenge, and it is really nothing to do with Corbyn the individual at all.

Brexit Party are putting up a candidate in my constituency (I get a postal vote, even though now abroad). Trying to find out who she is and what she believes wasn’t very successful - one of the earliest google results is her less than illuminating twitter feed: Delphine Gray-Fisk (@DGrayFisk) on Twitter

.. it doesn’t scream “sharp operator” to me.

With further googling I see she’s an ex airline pilot, which is enough to rule her out for me, as every pilot I’ve ever known has been a total nutcase. Does piloting attract narcissistic psychopaths, or does the job just lead them down that path?

Of course her standing for BXP was already enough to rule her out of contention for my vote, but nosiness led me to want to research what kind of person wants to be a Brexit party MP. She will have no chance anyway, Slough is a safe Labour seat.

Tell Sid.

There was grafitti in our local park that said 'we've seen sid and we've told him now fuck off' which I always found very amusing.

Our intended BP candidate, now stood down, is a US citizen that only moved here in April 2018, and described his British citizenship as 'pending'.

Shame about his aim but at least it landed on some Brexit Party crap.

"He repeatedly screamed “F**k you! F**k the Brexit Party! And F**k Nigel Farage!”

“He was carrying a container in his hand, which he threw at me from six feet.

“He missed but still managed to damage my property, including Brexit Party-branded items that were resting on the table, before running away."

I like that they've gone to the effort of taking plenty of photos so everyone can see the true horror of it.

perhaps a reason like the last few years of relentless anti-corbyn nonsense like this gem from the mail website
View attachment 190470

Wow, we've arrived at a very weird place. I remember about 7/8 years ago there was a student anti-austerity demo in Manchester where some chant or other was reported to have included the word Jews or similar. I recall it playing out on the guardian website comments or maybe youtube where the clip was posted. Tanya Gold was amongst those making the accusations and I post a few comments aimed directly at her saying to just listen and giving what was a more likely syllable by syllable break down. TBF to her she accepted that it was entirely innocent and none of the words used in the demo were about Jews, Jewishness etc. But it was depressing seeing an influx of people joining the guardian board solely to repeat the accusations of antisemitism and who were then completely unwilling to listen to clear evidence that there was no antisemitism at all.

By the by, A) I'm quite embarrassed that I ever had a log in for the guardian's comments page. Also, B) that's not some metaphor saying that all accusations of anti-semitism are made up. It's been a habit of mind that some in the Labour Party have inherited from the 'far left'. My only point is that this ridiculous accusation in the mail is both depressing and a sign of the times.

Up to you but for me ... far left = unelectable so the tories win

Just as with the Foot disaster, this position will be proven correct in time.

You absolute fuckinng clown. You woudn't know 'far left' if it pissed on you leg. Labour in it's present manifetation is mildly socialist. It would seem you have bought the bullshit being put forth by a number of right-leaning media outlets.
